Commenter Ed linked to that awesome “Ultimate Dog Tease” video, the one I left on the front page of my blog the last time I disappeared for a year, and of course every time I even think of that video I have to watch it again. So do you. Here:
I noticed in the YouTube sidebar that there are now tons of talking-animal videos by the same people (I think) and the of them and therefore I just spent an entire hour giggling. This ought to take care of any pesky “free time” surplus you may be dealing with.
They’ve now also got Ultimate Cat Tease, and be sure to watch all the way to the end even after it goes black for a few seconds because GUINEA PIG!
is good too.
Shoot, I was hoping one of the animals would talk about Pasta! For! Dogs!
Behold the !
I was over that pretty fast, but I’m still pissed off when I see Obama/Biden bumper stickers. But then I smile when I think of how shocked and horrified they’ll all be when their decision to ignore reality smacks them in the ‘nads.
I was just thinking about that video for the first time in weeks. Get outta my head!

Kinda like the dog?
Why, yes, I can turn anything back to politics. The path to enlightenment lies in doing the opposite, and seeing the humor in politics. I mean, doesn’t the Hostess story make you cry with laughter? (Or something…)
Thus ends my comment, grasshoppers.
I must have seen this old video over one hundred times, and I still burst out laughing each and every time.
I love the video
Ugh! What the heck’s wrong with those Italians?
You should never tease a cat. They are likely to do
And I LOVE the cats playing patty cake. Was going to post that one, too, but you beat me to it. HAHAHAHA!
Of course, instead of teasing animals, you can
Another cool fact about Klaatu42 (the guy behing the vids) is that he donated all his merchandise profits to his local animal shelter in Nova Scotia. I think he raised more than $30K for them.
Guinea pig!
I do have to watch the dog one every now and then to cheer myself up.
My (it figures that he’s French).
Yay! That dog vid quickly became part of our household vocabulary. All bacon is “The maple kind?” Love the asshole cat! I hadn’t seen that one before.
These critters aren’t real, so not nearly as adorable, but they’ve also had a lasting effect on our lingo:
I saw the election as a choice between rocket ships to Mars and hoverboards and sleek new aircars, or bread lines and revolution.
Okay, the rocket ships to Mars will have to wait for a few years, but we’ll get there. This Thanksgiving I’m grateful we still have a chance to turn things around. And if things don’t turn around, we’ll clear away the rubble and rebuild.
Wow … déjà vu when I landed on your home page and saw the Ultimate Dog Tease at the top!
@Mrs. Hill:
LOVE LOVE LOVE Nick Parks. I saw this video years ago and recorded it just so I could laugh at it over and over. Loved his later stuff with Wallace and Gromit.
Then there’s…
And this one has them all…
Buttercup: “Of course, instead of teasing animals, you can always play for them.”
Or you could actually .
@Razi:
HAHAHA! (Gasp) HAHAHA! I adore Monty Python!
@Razi: Heh. Still funny after all of these years.
@Buttercup: “Al! Al!” Loved it! Same here with the Nick Parks vid – probably still have a snowy old recording we made on VHS around here somewhere. Heh.
While we’re playing oldies but goodies,
Did anyone one else immediately think of Rachel when they saw this commercial:
@Mrs. Hill:
The cardboard performance art had me HOWLING!
@Rachel, here’s – WITH soundtrack — of the cat gif you posted in WAYS TO HANDLE THIS. I scream laughing every time I watch it.
@Buttercup:
Nothing beats Monty Python for sheer lunacy of the gut-busting kind!
Of course, when you post that video first thing, then I automatically think that you’re going to disappear again for another year, and THEN I become wildly depressed and have to watch funny pet videos, which is a good thing, cuz that’s what you posted, so, uh, really…I’m good.
Glad to amuse. Well, to point at amusement.
Now perhaps you fine folks can help me out. I vaguely remember a stand-up show by some woman, dating back to at least the early nineties (me old!), whose main shtick seemed to be “backtracking” humor. Along the lines of (1. Remember I am not a trained comedian, 2. Avert your eyes, dog-lovers): “When I was a child, we once had to move. Since we couldn’t take the dog with us, my parents put him to sleep. No, no, not like that! I mean that we just left while he was sleeping. No, of course we didn’t do that, that would be cruel! What happened is that we accidentally drove over him. That’s what my parents told me.” Can anyone tell me who that might be?
